Tanzania

Olam’s operations in Tanzania began in 1994. Since then, we have established a significant presence in the country, with 122 permanent staff and over 2,000 seasonal employees spread across 15 out of the 22 regions. We have a particularly strong presence in Dar Es Salaam where we have our head office, and in Songea, Mwanza, Bunda, Bokoba, and Kyela, where we operate regional offices.

Today we manage an integrated supply chain for four key products, cotton, sesame, cocoa, and green coffee. Our 2,000 hectare green coffee project is based in Lipokela village. The Olam Tanzania subsidiary AVIV Tanzania, was established in 2011 to grow world class Arabica coffee by implementing environmental and social standards.

In overseeing every stage of the supply chain from origination through to distribution, we are able to add value and manage risk across our operations, delivering quality products to our customers worldwide.
